In a Feb. 3 filing in Oakland County Circuit Court, Cooper has reportedly lodged more accusations of misconduct against MacKenzie, accusing him of displaying a “catch me if you can” attitude.

According to Cooper, a recent review of cases shows “several more” have been improperly dismissed by MacKenzie, The Detroit Free Press reports.

“It’s this ‘catch me if you can’ position that necessitates a superintending control order from this court, directing MacKenzie to stop his practice of illegally dismissing valid state law convictions,” Cooper said.

Cooper filed a complaint for superintending control over MacKenzie’s docket in November 2013, claiming the judge is improperly dismissing cases, falsifying records and making public records nonpublic. (See, “Prosecutor v. judge,” MiLW, Dec. 16, 2013.)

And in a motion filed recently, MacKenzie’s attorney, John J. Lynch, asked that the complaint be dismissed. MacKenzie said that, as attorneys of record, prosecutors receive all orders issued by the court. MacKenzie also argued that prosecutors can always appeal his decisions if they believe they are illegal or wrong. (See, “Chief judge scorches Oakland’s Cooper for ‘bullying tactics’ in judge’s case,” MiLW Blog, Jan. 29, 2014.)

According to the Free Press, Cooper’s new allegations include:

• MacKenzie placed a woman charged with domestic violence on one year probation, but then dismissed the case “on motion of prosecuting attorney.” However, Cooper said there was no such motion and her office would have argued against the dismissal. She said that, when the prosecutor’s office asked for hearing transcripts from MacKenzie’s court reporter, they were told “there is no record to be transcribed.”

• MacKenzie dismissed charges against a man accused of child abuse. Cooper said that although the records indicated the case was dismissed “by party,” the only party that could have dismissed the case was the prosecutors. And she said they did not dismiss anything.

Oakland Circuit Judge Colleen O’Brien is scheduled to hold a hearing in the matter on Feb. 26.
